Ive just moved to vista, I bought a new quad core PC and XP didnt do anything for it. To be honest ive not found anything too bad with it, it has its annoyances, but speed wise its fine.
Vista is a memmory eater, try going for more than 1gb. (tbh id recomend more than 1gb if using XP too)

Vista really needs at least 2Gb of RAM to feel reasonably usable. If you're using something like Norton or McAfee you'll get performance hits from those too (something like AVG tends to be much less intrusive and just as good in practice.)

Vista is an example of MS back on their usual form, IMO... extra bloat, lots of new bugs for virtually zero real gain.

Oh yeah - if you have a not-too-hot graphics card you might get better performance turning off all the useless graphical bells and whistles...
